The dictionary says dyslexia is about reading. We say that's just the beginning. After many years of parenting a child with dyslexia, and over three years of doing this show, we break down what the standard definitions miss, from the strengths no one talks about to how it shapes everyday life.

We're Sonja and Nick — parents of a dyslexic kid and your guides on this journey. We created Dyslexia Journey because we know how isolating it can feel when your child struggles with reading and school isn't helping. Every episode brings practical strategies, expert interviews with psychologists, educators, and reading specialists, plus real stories from dyslexic adults who've thrived. Whether you're a parent navigating diagnosis, IEPs, and accommodations, or a dyslexic adult looking for community — this show is for you. Got a question or a guest idea?
